- Luxury line Crystal has revealed the name of its newest ship.
- The Crystal Grace will launch in 2028.
- It will be the first ship the line has launched in 25 years.
Crystal has revealed the name of its new ship which will be delivered in May 2028.
The Crystal Grace is scheduled for her inaugural voyage on June 11, 2028, with a throng of preview sailings set to follow.
It will be the first new ship from the company in 25 years since the line launched the Crystal Serenity in 2003.
As part of the launch campaign, Crystal created a digital word game shared across all social channels, inviting fans to guess the name of the ship before the big reveal.
“Crystal Grace is more than a name; it’s a promise. It reflects the effortless elegance, generous spirit, and sense of tranquillity that define the Crystal experience,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group.
“Crystal Grace is the embodiment of why we were awarded the World’s Best Cruise Line by Travel + Leisure, combining the best food, service, space, entertainment and shore experiences (by Abercrombie & Kent). With this ship, we are honoring our heritage while continuing to evolve for a new generation of guests.”
The name Grace was chosen to reflect the ship’s refined aesthetic, seamless onboard experience and the graceful way in which Crystal ships navigate the world’s most breathtaking destinations.
The 650-passenger (based on double occupancy), 61,800-gross-tonne Crystal Grace will offer spacious all-suite accommodations, entertainment and world-class dining including Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea, the only Beefbar at sea and menus designed by the Michelin-starred Italian Alajmo brothers at Osteria d’Ovidio, all included in the voyage price.
The promenade will extend around the whole ship’s perimeter and the Crystal Grace will offer one of the highest crew-to-passenger ratios in this segment.
On land, Abercrombie & Kent will curate a series of exceptional land experiences and events across the world, powered by its network of integrated DMCs.
Details around Crystal Grace’s suite categories will be announced in December, with additional news on the inaugural voyages, design features and new onboard offerings, unveiled in the coming months.
Her inaugural 2028 season is set to go on sale in April 2026, with the waitlist opening soon.
